BOYS’ BOOK OF SEA BATTLES
by Chelsea Curtis Fraser
Truth can be more exciting than fiction, as these fourteen stirring sea battles from the pages of history prove. From the days of Sir Francis Drake, when life on the sea was a constant battle between the Spanish and the English, to the Battle of Leyte, sea fights have determined the destiny of men and nations. In these pages you will find Commodore John Paul Jones, Lord Nelson, Oliver Perry, Admiral David Farragut, and Dewey, together with the dramatic stories of the Constitution and the Guerrière, the Monitor and the Merrimac, and the sea battles of World Wars I and II.
